My Scrapbooking Cat

Making cards with Doodlebug could not be any easier! Last year they came out with these mini cards and all I did was use the Doodlepops and Mini Doodlepops to create these litle cuties! I added some sparkle felt that I had left over from a stocking I made. I used a stamp for the sentiment at the top.

Yes, it is time to start thinking Christmas for those of us who make our own cards! Hard to believe that November is knocking on our door. The flurries are flying but will hopefully stay away until after Halloween......then it will really be time to think about Christmas!

I have much to be happy for today- it is my anniversary of 10 beautiful years with my loving hubby and my baby boy is my sunshine! He makes me so unbelievably happy! I used Bella Blvd. to make this layout. It is a mixture of Daily Chevies, the new Christmas paper, washi tape, and old ciao chipboard pieces.

Here is a closer look!

I also made a card from the new Doodlebug line called Day To Day. I added bling to the star bursts and the heart in the middle of the pixie flag.

It is definitely fall here and I have taken some very cute pictures of my son in the leaves. I cannot wait to scrap them......just finding the time is going to be my challenge!!!

It was my mom's birthday yesturday and this was her birthday card. I used the new Doodlebug Fall collection. The lil' critters are SOOO cute! I used leaf washi tape too- super fun! The sentiment and the hedgehog are pop dotted. Happy Thanksgiving!

It is crazy to look back and see this picture of myself taken 5 months ago! I was a week overdue when I snapped this photo. I can't believe how big I was!!!!! Since then my body has gone through dramatic changes with breastfeeding and healing from a c-section. What a journey!

I used Doodlebug products from the baby boy line to make this layout. I cut the banners from paper and used a binder border punch on the blue cardstock- which just so happens to be Doodlebug as well!

About Me

I think I have been scrapbooking since the 1990's. I have always had a love for stickers. My elementary teachers would put stickers on my work and I loved to collect them in my sticker books. I eventually began putting stickers together with my photos and after awhile it evolved into an obsession called scrapbooking! I have my own "scraproom" filled with way too much stuff. It is hard to find time to create but it is definitely my favorite thing to do. My style has changed dramatically over the years. I do tend to be monochromatic and I am trying to break that habit by experimenting with patterns and colours! Of course I still love stickers but with all the different products out there I have a few other 'loves' like rub-ons, flowers, ribbon, brads, bling, and buttons. I find my inspiration in my photos and in magazines. Just today I have decided to completely rennovate my scraproom. I am so excited to make it a more organized and cozy place to spend my free time.
